"You there....why are you so late..." Norma at the top of the stairs. Chills.

My #1 is When Hamilton appears in the first song -- always chills every time I've seen it. 

Hedwig.

Dolly in the title song.

 

Also, Janet McTeer's entrance in the revival of Les Liaisons Dangereuses revival was pretty damn great.

I’d also agree with the adult Ti Moune’s entrance in the superb Once on this Island revival as one that is exhilarating.*

“Sing out, Louise” remains the gold standard, though.

Helene's entrance for "Charming" in GREAT COMET was fabulous.

The two best parts of an otherwise pretty dreadful show was Christine Ebersole appearing at the top of those pink stairs exclaiming "she's here", and Patti Lupone walking on stage exclaiming "It's so wonderful to be back in Manhattan!"

I graciously add the entrance of The Leading Player (Ben Vereen) in the original Bob Fosse's direction / choreography of Pippin: a haunting musical vamp followed by the reveal of a wall of just hands moving to the curious music. Then through the darkness we meet The Leading Player. Brilliant. Breathtaking.

BTW... loved the revival too, but the original entrance was, as the song said, "magic".

I haven't seen Dolly yet so can't give my opinion on that. My favorite entrance is Glinda appearing in her bubble and when Elphaba runs onstage in Wicked.

I'm also a weird one but I got chills when Christine Dwyer ran onstage as Sylvia in Finding Neverland.

Re: "Sing out, Louise!" (which by the way was not in the original script. It was handwritten in by Merman. Whether it was her idea or she wrote in an add from the creative team is unclear)...

Does Rose always enter from the back of the theatre down one of the aisles? Did Angela, Tyne, Bernadette and Patti all do that?

I had no prior knowledge of that, but it was pretty damn fabulous. "I AM HERE."

For me, Pierre’s entrance in Great Comet and not even when Josh Groban was in the show. Towards the end of the run there was a lot of excitement and anticipation, probably due to the fantastic set and costumes. I know I held my breath the last time I saw the show, a few performances before closing.

I was just today thinking about PIPPIN and remembered this thread. I loved the entrance of the LP and the other leads in the revival. I saw the show a few weeks after the Tonys so I knew what to expect from the curtain drop but was still wow'ed.

I don't think any entrance in Broadway history tops Dolly at Harmonia Gardens but a few others I like:

- I think Bye Bye Birdie is really well constructed with the slow reveal of Conrad Birdie. The first time we meet him (in "Healthy Normal American Boy", he doesn't even speak. Then finally after more than half an act talking about him, we finally get to hear him in "Honestly Sincere"

- I've also always been fond of the Witch's entrance in Into the Woods

- The Phantom at the end of "Masquerade
